He's so well spoken and seems very shy for a huge star which is heartwarming....we need more people like him in the world...Thank you for your music Mr. McDonald...❤
When i was a little child dragged around on all those car trips, Michael McDonald's voice soothed me as i lay daydreaming in the back of the station wagon.
Love everything about Michael his voice is so soulful and sexy , he is so humble .seems like a great guy all the way around . Your music will always brighten my day thank you Michael and I ❤❤❤
Too foine....just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine. Major crush on Michael McDonald from back in the day. I used to play his What A Fool Believes over and over again off a tape on this little plastic taper recorder back in the 80's. I guess I couldn't afford a stereo back then. I Keep Forgettin' and What a Fool Believes are my favorites. Saw him in concert recently and he kept running his fingers through that goregous hair, thereby making me crazy. Okay wayyyy TMI...lol!!!
Steamworker - go to a gig, make yourself known, wait by the artistes door for an hour after the gig. This is what I did and he sent someone out to me who said - come sit inside its cold out there. Mike then sat down and talked to me for 20 minutes. He is a gentleman and a genuine good spirit. That is also why everyone in the industry loves him. I'll never forget those moments.
I NO one will ever match his unique voice and he seems so down to earth. The world has changed so much since the 70's but he still excites the heart and soul of all. Love you Michael. A grand musician and a sweetheart.
So glad to see this interview , and to hear him talk about his view on music. I'm just working my way through this man's music and I love it. Anyone familar with Blue Obsession? I'll likely get it from Amazon.
Lisa LoveMeSomeMusic I have BLUE OBSESSION and love it, in fact there were TWO DIFFERENT versions, the first was supposed to be released by Reprise Records in 1997 but McD. left Reprise and took his recordings with him but not before Reprise had pressed a 'Demo CD' for the industry and put the album tracks on MUSE so I knew it was coming but no release happened. I saw the Demo CD on eBay and bought it. Then, he formed RAMP records with Pelonis and Bridges and released it in 2000 with three tracks replaced with different songs. So I now have BOTH the Reprise version and RAMP release. The Tracks were: Tell It Like It Is, Take It From The Top and Give It Up, all of which are very good and I don't know why he replaced them but two have been released on other 'compilation' albums and the third will probably make it on to another one. Hope this Helps.
Michael NcDonald hails from St Louis and follows a long line of musical greats. Miles Davis, David Sanborn, Billy Davis, Jr, Angela Windbush, Josephine Baker. So is Nashville really “ Music City ?” It takes a back seat to St Louis. Michael McDonalds voice reflects the greatness of the real Music City, St Louis
He's as modest and unaffected as he is talented and accomplished. Genuinely nice guy whose track record as a songwriter and performer speaks for itself.
He’s right about Blink of an Eye and The Christmas record. Those are Brilliant and my favourites as well. Track wise Sweet Freedom, On My OWN, Cant let go and the likes still ring true.
He's like most of this singers out there that their voices sound differently when they sing prior to when they talk. I dunno if that natural or if that's them altering their voices to doing so.

Love listening to all his interviews. We don’t get to see him as often as you do in US. Glad when someone puts them on YT❤
Michael is a living legend. His voice (singing or not) is like a soothing balm for the soul.
Absolute genius and beautiful spirit/ soul.. I love him.. I can listen to his music and singing forever
Very humble / unpretentious man - everyone in the industry loves him - reasons he's collaborated with so many musicians / bands
Love everything about Michael his voice is so soulful and sexy , he is so humble .seems like a great guy all the way around . Your music will always brighten my day thank you Michael and I ❤❤❤
I was going to say the same exact thing. Very humble. My favorite!

I wish I could have a discussion with this beautiful man, before I die.
I NO one will ever match his unique voice and he seems so down to earth. The world has changed so much since the 70's but he still excites the heart and soul of all. Love you Michael. A grand musician and a sweetheart.
His two Motown records are fantastic and must haves!!!
The man is a walking LEGEND! Such a fan of his. His new music is absolutely AMAZING so I encourage you all to check it out!
The Thundercat , Michael and Kenny Loggins collab on Show You the Way is stunning.
Michael is a living legend.
Just a great pleasure it is to hear you speak of your life.
MM is a national treasure with that voice
Carla Linton. I love Mr. Michael McDonald. He is one of my favorite Male Artists of all times.

I like how his mustache is darker on his left side! He's a kool kat in every way. What a beautiful soul! (Talent quotient goes without saying!)
So down to earth. Your great Mike.
He started going grey in his 20's its natural that's all. Irish heritage.

Amazing and Anointed and Appointed Artist Worldwide since childhood. 👸🌎🌍🌏🌈❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️📖🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great album, duet with Wendy Moten is the best track on the album!
Michael McDonald to me have beautiful eyes..
Wonderful interview, such a great guy :)
Now in 2015 Michael McDonald has been involved with the album "Toto XIV" - For those interested!
Who the hell is interested in "Toto" these days? are they even still active?
You have my attention on the two together. TOTO was great back in the day ! So yes , to your question.

I love how his mustache coloring is ...He is so unique...

Perhaps my all time fave vocalist.....but who was the genius who decided to interview him right next to a foyer fountain?
He's as modest and unaffected as he is talented and accomplished. Genuinely nice guy whose track record as a songwriter and performer speaks for itself.
This was a strange and difficult time for Michael's moustache.
🤣
I noticed. Half white and black. Nice looking .
🤣🤣🤣
He’s right about Blink of an Eye and The Christmas record. Those are Brilliant and my favourites as well. Track wise Sweet Freedom, On My OWN, Cant let go and the likes still ring true.
Rockin the dual stash
Beautiful hair!
Michael is not only a musical genius. He is a beautiful sensitive human being. (This interview is still very relevant today in 2024.)
I will always love, you Michael!!#Ronda1982!
Those eyes my god!🤩
Omg I love him
Love Michael Macdonald forever 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🎹🧔🏻🎤🇺🇸🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏
Love You Mick.
Great interviewer too as said below.
O melhor cantor americano!
Holy shit his speaking voice is NOT like I imagined it would be haha! I thought it would have the tone of his singing voice.
if he only spoke the way he sings. youre right his voice is totally different to his singing voice. he's still got it.
Spell it with me folks. MICHAEL.
Happy Birthday MIKE!
I so love MM. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for that.
Can someone silence that waterfall!!
The one in my pants when I see Michael McDonald? (Sorry, couldn't resist)
That thumbnail 😍
Does any live footage of Nothin' But A Heartache exist?
Micheal I love you , but why is half of your mustache brown?
I'm pretty sure this is filmed in the Mohegan Sun lobby.
He's like most of this singers out there that their voices sound differently when they sing prior to when they talk. I dunno if that natural or if that's them altering their voices to doing so.
How come half of Michael's mustache is gray and half almost graying?
Wow
Pretty sure he said he was from Ferguson
It would be nice if you spelled his name right. It is M I C H A E L.
Then he morphed into George Lucas 😶
I always thought I was the only one who had this same thought going through my head. Ironically he and George Lucas are the exact same age
What year was this?
Looks like he forgot to dye the other half of his mustache
dye it white or black?
"You Keep Me Running"?! Really?
He doesn't sound black when he talk🤔🤔
Oh but when he pulls down his pants you can see that he is...
@@jackburton6998 how the hell would you know?😡🤨😱
Head to 02:05 to skip the sycophancy and go directly to the interview.
firstly I thought the intro way to long and second i thought it was a woman narrating!!
the 70's
I keep forgetting he’s not in love anymore
Micheal or Michael?😃
